Elizabeth Edwards still thinks she married “a marvelous man”…but John Edwards “is no longer the person who I married.” In her first appearance since their split, she tells Today, “I still admire an enormous number of things about him.” She also compares herself to Sandra Bullock: “I don’t know her, but I assume she wants to reclaim who she is in the same way I want to reclaim who I am.”

And she is “not just a cuckolded wife,” she says, adding that “I hope the next time I am on television it's to talk about some policy I really care about.” Rielle Hunter, of course, comes up: Edwards watched part of her appearance on Oprah, and came to the conclusion that “this person is so completely unlike me that it's hard to imagine the same person could marry me and be attracted to that woman, as well.”

I don't judge Elizabeth, John or the other women, we will never really know what happen in the Edwards household, but they do. I wish her well. I do think John Edwards will always be known as a man who cheated on his wife w/cancer. All the good that he has done, or ever will do will be over shadowed by this. I pray and hope that she is not in alot of pain. May the peace of GOD be with her and her kids.

I think she's trying to be known as someone more than John Edward's wife, but that's all she'll be

Maybe when Elizabet gets on with her life and stops going on every TV show possible (she will be on Larry King tonight) to talk about her disgusting life and book she has written she will feel better. She can't let go of John. She really needs help from a psychologist. She is better off than most women that have been left by their husbands for another. At least she has money, a home, and doesn't have to worry about where her next meal is coming from for herself and children. And she doesn't have to worry about how her bills are going to be paid. This woman doesn't know just how lucky she is.
